I t should also be remarked that the maximum salaries are paid to very few indeed, the average compensation being much nearer the minimum. The result is that we have great difficulty in keeping many of our best employees in the service, and even greater difficulty in finding new ones of the right sort who are willing to come in at the pay we are able to offer. It is useless to prefer the arbitrary opinion that a certain sum is all a certain service is worth, as long as private employers are offering more for the same class of work. If it be borne in.mind that most of our field stations'ure remote from civilization, and that in many cases nearly every necessary of life has to be brought in at the cost of two or three days1 freighting |
